A member asked:

My mom fracture her knee. she was in the hosp 4 days. since day 1, she has a bad reaction to morphine. became mentally unstable. but the hosp keeps giving her the same drug every night. when someone had a bad reaction, is there other alternatives?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Delirium can occur in older patients when given opioids, and this often is seen in folks who have tendencies for future dementias. Yes, alternatives do exist, and you could consider requesting a second opinion regarding the medication regimen.
